Software Improvement Group (SIG) specializes in software quality assurance services tailored for Power and Utilities companies. We empower these companies to modernize the grid, prevent security breaches, and manage complex IT environments effectively.
Our mission is to support your digital transformation by ensuring your software is reliable, secure, and future-proof. Hidden risks in software architecture, security, and maintainability can hinder growth and increase costs. Without visibility into code quality, scaling efficiently and building with confidence becomes challenging. SIG addresses these issues by analyzing your source code against the world’s largest code benchmark and delivering prioritized recommendations, pinpointing the initiatives most crucial for your business.
At SIG, we bridge the gap between the quality of your source code and proven business ROI by offering management-level insights and easy-to-monitor development progress. Supporting over 300 technologies, we are the only technology-agnostic partner for Energy companies.
How SIG helps achieve business success
Our consultancy services are powered by our software assurance platform, Sigrid®.
We begin with a holistic software portfolio scan to identify the most critical areas for improvement. We then perform deep dives into selected systems, focusing on a particular aspect be it software architecture quality, security assessment, legacy modernization, or AI assessment. Each assessment provides an extensive report with both technical and boardroom-ready insights, highlighting improvement areas with the highest ROI.
From there, we can help you continuously improve developments in your software portfolio and give you an opportunity to objectively monitor progress. This is enabled by Sigrid® platform – a single source of truth for software excellence
How SIG’s software quality assurance works
Our process starts with securely analyzing your source code and benchmarking it against the world’s largest software quality database of over 3 billion lines of code. We deliver prioritized recommendations based on impact, business goals, and potential ROI, with proven results within six months.
With over 25 years of expertise, we offer tailored guidance backed by decades of software experience, along with personalized support and direct access to our expert community.
Through continuous integration with standard and proprietary tech stacks, we provide ongoing visibility into code quality, software architecture dependencies, security, and performance.
What do we help with?
Stay in control of software quality as Industry 4.0 transforms IT
Rapid innovation in energy sources and grid software demands faster development and larger teams. SIG ensures that software quality is not compromised, allowing you to stay in control of your entire IT environment.
Protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats
Cyber threats pose significant risks to Power and Utilities, with the average cost of a breach reaching $4.72 million. Legacy systems can expose critical infrastructure to attacks, but SIG strengthens your defenses with secure and future-ready IT solutions.
Modernize grid infrastructure for Green energy
Outdated grids struggle to support contemporary energy consumption and the flexibility of green energy sources. Our legacy modernization services help plan a path towards efficient innovation.
Deliver new features faster and more efficiently
The fast-paced energy sector demands high innovation capacity, where the maintainability of your source code plays a crucial role in efficiency and productivity. SIG’s landscape scan service identifies inefficiencies, enabling faster feature releases.
Enhance AI-driven predictive maintenance
Green energy increases reliance on weather conditions and fluctuating demand, making outages harder to predict. Our AI-powered energy management systems ensure proactive maintenance without downtime.
Commit to net-zero goals with Green IT
Power and Utilities companies face growing pressure to adopt sustainable IT practices and commit to net-zero goals. SIG optimizes your IT infrastructure for a greener, more efficient future.
Optimize energy flow with Virtual Power Plants
Aggregating multiple Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into a single virtual power plant optimizes supply and demand, balances loads, and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. SIG prepares your IT to support this shift towards a resilient and cost-effective energy future.
Improve data governance for smarter energy operations
The Power and Utilities industry generates vast amounts of data, which can remain fragmented across systems without robust governance. SIG ensures data integrity and interoperability between IT, Operational Technology (OT), and DER with a scalable, event-driven architecture.
Trusted by leading Power and Utilities organizations worldwide
Trusted by leading Power and Utilities organizations worldwide, including Alliander, Eneco, and Stedin, SIG provides essential business applications powered by software to facilitate the energy transition.
Petra Hendriksen, Head of Mission Control at Alliander, acknowledges the importance of SIG’s contributions: “We need smart solutions and essential business applications, all powered by software, to make the energy transition possible. With the help of SIG and their platform Sigrid®, we can invest more effectively in code quality improvement and development.”
